Ross: Two days of darts! It'll be great!

Ross is presenting to the guys his new dartboard. Right away he invites them all over for a weekend to play darts.

Ross: What do you think? Two days of darts! It'll be great!

 Where he pronounces R in "great" as if he was trying to say it as Russian/Italian or maybe Greek immigrant. You know that special real "rrrrrr". Why? Is that a phrase from a movie or something?

Here is a video of the scene, so you'd know what I mean:

      he's making more of an Irish or Scotch or some kind of British sub-accent, since darts is more popular or even originated from the UK

      Oh, thanks! It still takes me time to tell accents apart. I was sure it was about a movie quote.

      It could be related to Mike Myers' performance on SNL at that time, imitating Scottish people.

    It's definitely a Scottish accent... I presume they're impersonating the UK darts commentator, whoever that was
